Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets

I just got 3 Doors titles on Rhino High Fidelity - they sound great, but the records fit into the jackets so tightly that it's a real struggle taking them out to begin with, and then putting them back in is even worse; I've already got a tear in one of the inner sleeves from jamming it in.

Anybody else have this problem and figure out a good solution? I've never experienced this with any other LP's, going back to the 60's, except for these Rhino High Fidelity ones.

The Rhino High Fidelity are really tight. One can always keep the sleeved record in the middle of the gatefold. The new ECM Luminescence series jackets have the same problem, and those have gatefold jackets too.

I use 5mil outer sleeves on all my single and gatefold jackets, but I won't store my discs on the outside of the jacket. I consider that too risky for damage to disc surfaces. I have too many records and move them around often enough to make room for more. Jackets are designed to protect discs, so that's how I use them.

I have discovered the more I un-sleeve and re-sleeve these Rhino and ECM albums the more they loosen up a bit and become easier to deal with.

Just got my Rhino High Fidelity Cars S/T in. Same problem as OP.  

They all have that problem.
